No, UNCPU only supports UN or original Siemens communication download cable

Do l need to install a driver for the UN USB-PPl/MPl data cable?

The USB-PPI cable is free of drivers; whether the USB-MPI cable needs to install the driver is related to the software version. The software version is V5.5 and above driver-free.

If the software version is lower than V5.5, you can download the USB-MPI/DP driver from the website www.unimatautomation.com/pages/download and install it

EM277 corresponds to 300PLC data exchange address

1. The I/O address of the 300 system can be viewed in the hardware configuration of the 300;

2. The I/O address corresponding to the 200CPU is related to the slave device offset setting in the 300 configuration. The I/O address is VB0 (0+offset),

Is the function of UN EM277 and Siemens EM277 the same?

Some functions of Siemens EM277, UN EM277 does not support, only supports DP data exchange function, this function is the same as Siemens EM277,

But UN EM277 does not support upload and download programs or touch screen connection

The RiD/TC module is connected to the UN200 series CPl. Afer power-on, the Sf indicator of the module is on, and the plc information displays I/0 erorrs .Is there a problem with the module?

When 200 series modules, RTD and TC modules (address range AIW) are disconnected, the PLC> message displays "I/O Module Error", "Range Out of Range Error",

This is because the module is disconnected. For RTD modules and TC modules (address range AIW), 32767 is displayed when the channel is paused, and 32000 is out of the channel range;

However, this error does not mean that the module is faulty. The module can be used normally. If all unused channels are shorted, the SF light will not be on and this error message will not exist.

Can UN200 series 4Al/8Al modules connect 0-20mA and 0-l0V signals at the same time?

No, these two input signals are determined by DIP switches, and the 8 channels can be either current or voltage

The address range of the UN200 series is Volkswagen's analog input module. What is the adress assignment method? How much can hang behind the CPU?

The module address is related to the expansion module number. Taking UN 231-0HH32 as an example, the description is as follows:

7 Volkswagen analog input modules can be hung behind the CPU.
